法がある。2. Description of the Related Art At present, liquid crystal display devices have been widely used. Among them, a TN (twisted nematic) display method is most widely used as a low-quality display element. This TN display has many advantages such as low driving voltage and low power consumption. However, the response speed is remarkably inferior to light-emitting display elements such as a cathode ray tube, electroluminescence, and a plasma display. A new type of TN display element having a twist angle of 180 ° to 270 °, a so-called STN display element, has been developed.
Although the display capacity has increased dramatically, there is still a limit to the response speed. Recently, a display element in which a switch element is provided in each pixel of the TN display element has appeared on the market. Many of them are thin film transistor elements (Thi
n Film Transistor), abbreviated as TF
It is called a T-type, and is expected to have a future as a high-density, large-capacity, full-color liquid crystal element. However, this method also has drawbacks in screen size and production cost.
It is said that the TFT has a screen size of about twenty and a few inches because of the use of semiconductor technology, and also has a time division capability of about 1000 lines.
The ferroelectric liquid crystal display element which is the subject of the present invention is characterized in that
It has the potential of realizing both a large screen of more than twenty inches size, which cannot realize a T element, and a reduction in production cost. (Clark et al., Applied Physics Letter, 36, 89).
9 (1980)). This display method uses a chiral smectic phase such as a chiral smectic C phase (hereinafter abbreviated as Sc * phase) exhibiting ferroelectricity. The above method
It is called a surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal display, and is being commercialized by home appliance manufacturers and material manufacturers, and its characteristics are being improved and commercialized. The reason is that the ferroelectric liquid crystal element has the following features 1 to 3 in principle. 1. High-speed response 2. 2. Memory properties Wide viewing angle These features suggest the potential of SSFLC for large capacity displays, making SSFLC very attractive. Generally, the liquid crystal composition can be composed of a liquid crystal compound or a non-liquid crystal compound. The ferroelectric liquid crystal composition is composed of only a ferroelectric liquid crystal compound, and exhibits a non-chiral smectic C, F, G, H, I or other inclined smectic phase (hereinafter abbreviated as a phase such as Sc). There is a method in which a compound exhibiting a ferroelectric liquid crystal phase can be formed as a whole by mixing one or more ferroelectric liquid crystal compounds or a non-liquid crystal optically active compound with a compound or a composition as a basic substance.
